There is snow one like you

Today is a New Release day at Catch the Bug and it is the Prize Gift set from the Holiday Chaos set.  I colored this snowman with a hot pink scarf and blue birds.  I wanted some non-Traditional Christmas colors.
Make sure to check the site if you played the Holiday Chaos to see if you won any prizes!!!
I know this weekend we got a little snow and then Monday some more...so for those of you who also got snow please be safe since people are just getting used to slippery roads and sidewalks once again. Stay warm.  And to those in warm areas with no snow well....carry on, hehe.  As I sit in my craft room typing with my space heater going LOL.

'Cuz you're pawsome

My daughter has her pup, Gus who had his surgery on Friday.  Amanda was so upset because the paperwork when she picked him up said "Castration".  She thought that it was rather cruel.  She sent me a picture of him in the morning when he didn't understand where his food dish was.
Here is the card that I made for mainly her to settle her down.  It is using a  cute set from Newton's Nook Terrific Terriors.  I heat embossed the sentiment in white.

Right beside you

Today starts a new challenge at Catch the Bug which is Naked Stamping.  I used the stamp Right beside you silhouette which I think has a beautiful sentiment.  I have a friend who is going through a rough time since her Mother that is 87 is going through some health issues, she babysits her grandsons and one developed croup this week, her daughter is struggling with post part-em depression, she has chronic back pain with leg neuropathy that has been getting worse especially with the cold weather, her daughter in law treats her like Cinderella and when she goes to babysit she expects her to clean her house, do her laundry, take care of neighbor children and all for FREE as well as no thank yous.  So I thought this would be a good card to give her to help cheer her up and get her through some rough times.

May your days be Merry and Bright

Today is day 7 and the last day of the Holiday Chaos 2017 at Catch the Bug and it is a Friday Freebie Photo Inspiration Challenge.  The image today is AKV Christmas Tree and my sentiment is from TLC, Create.  I hope that you enjoyed all the challenges and I really enjoyed going around and seeing everyone's wonderful projects.
When I went to visit my son over Thanksgiving, I watched him and his girlfriend put up their Christmas tree which turned out to be gorgeous.  My daughter liked the design so she copied it, hehe. So they both have wonderful trees....and I'm still working on mine.
